So you can say Drusilla is mentally ill?
I have no idea. We weren't allowed to call Azula a sociopath despite her exhibiting all the signs. But Drusilla has a problem with her brain being missing. It's kind of a thing.
Does anybody else miss the Mayor? 'I just want to be a big snake.'

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I rather think "batshit crazy" is accurate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would think that "delusional" would be accurate and specific.
Can you drive someone delusional? Didn't Angelus torture her into a break with reality? She's not delusional--she's psychic, after all. She's just...unhinged.
I don't see how he could stop you talking about a plot point and have it be conducive to discussion.

Drusilla just needs a hug.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Can you drive someone delusional?
I would think so.
Drusilla just needs a hug.
After all, a hug is just a strangle you haven't finished yet.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
They're allowed to talk about mental illness, they just can't use the word "crazy" - which is ableist, I guess.
Can I just say this sticks in my craw, and I've actually flown over the cuckoo's nest in the last 3 months.

Okay, but I don't think that's what happened in the story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I rather think "batshit crazy" is accurate.
When it comes to Drusilla it really is the best term.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I actually look forward to the subject. I would like to think that Mark will sit back and say, "Okay, crazy it is." IRT Dru.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is he okay with "insane" as a clinical term? I can't think of a way to describe Dru's clear break from reality without using "insane" or "crazy" or "psychotic" or something. I mean, I have no doubt she'd be diagnosed with at least one mental illness, if she didn't eat the shrink first.
